Well deserved, rapturous standing ovation at @OfficialEvita tonight with hordes of people waiting at the stage door. It’s on for another week or so - if you get the chance to see it, grab it with both hands!
Another roaring success for @JamieLloydCo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Lovely run along the River Nidd yesterday evening with the oldest teenager (although I think she may have regretted her life choices half way through!)
Unable to post usual obligatory selfie as ‘Mother, do I look selfie ready?!?’ 😂

Testing a potential prototype daffodil costume today for the London Marathon next year. This one won’t be any good as I can’t see in it, but I’ll come up with something!
I’ll be running for @mariecurieuk - if you’d like to sponsor me, link below 🙏

Very proud to be with our Yorkshire team to represent @mariecurieuk.bsky.social at Leeds Pride today. After weeks of drought the heavens opened but the rain didn’t dampen spirits 🌈💛🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈

What an incredible, cinematically beautiful, moving, powerfully written book. Thank you @drrachelclarke.com for such powerful story telling, and to my fellow passengers on the train who have tactfully ignored me crying quietly to myself as I read it!

Despite swearing I’d never run another road marathon, I couldn’t resist the chance to run the London marathon as a daffodil for Marie Curie!
If you’d like to sponsor me, I’d be really grateful.
Anyone able to help us make the daffodil headdress?!

A wonderful episode on BBC Radio4 @laurenlaverne.bsky.social
It strikes me that @lucygobag.bsky.social is the personification of decency, compassion, kindness and respect - such wisdom gained from a lifetime spent dealing with disaster.
And a great soundtrack choice too ❤️

Fascinating panel discussion about how we attract, retain and value the nursing workforce.
My beautiful mum was in a campaign to attract people into the profession in the 1960s and had a very rewarding, joyful career - perhaps nearly 60 years later we need another campaign?

Another week, another wood (this one a National heritage site) but a similar moment of serenity. Feeling very blessed to have this on my doorstep. #mindfulminute #minuteofmindfulness #birdsong #peace #calm
